Gold ETFs Face Trying Times

“We are still bullish gold and remain there until gold fails to hold the $1,200 support level. We expect the same price action we saw the last time gold was in this pattern from August through October; gold broke to the upside. We expect the same result here, but will exit below $1,200 if it fails,” according to Kitco.

Gold prices have recently stayed above the mid-August lows and a move close to $1,300 per ounce could trigger more buying. Rising interest rates have also stymied gold this year, but real rates are stabilizing, which could benefit bullion.
